I'm a fan of the game, not Hedgesville nor Martinsburg as I have had relatives flourish at both schools in academics and sports, I do agree that hearing the recruiting is too much to bear, the best TEAM will win no matter who is on what squad. I don't believe their is any recruiting going on, I just believe people move cause they choose, not cause they are being " recruited ".. Congrats to Cedo for being invited and to playing in the Semper Fi All American Game and good luck to all the local teams this year in Bball and despite what anybody says, I DO believe it's Martinsburgs championship to lose, just like I believed last year...

My opinion....Delaware knew he was getting passed over in favor of Jarron and wanted to go to another school to play. Even if his family did move out of Martinsburg's district, he could've stayed at Martinsburg if he wanted. Nothing wrong with that, just want you guys to admit that it happens everywhere....even your school

It's just funny that when it comes to Bulldogs transferring in, you guys cry about recruiting or illegal transfers. When it's your own players, we should assume its all legal and the family just so happened to move into the district. As I said before, this stuff happens at every school...Martinsburg just seems to have the only fanbase that doesn't cry about it.

All last season you barely posted in the basketball season, so no congrats to YOUR state defending basketball champs? Guess that Peterson kid ain't too bad after all, good thing Hedgesville "recruited" him, lol, just goes to show that just cause the constitution gives people the right to speak, doesn't mean they should..

Here we go again Hugh, ever think that Delaware moved into Hedgesvilles District??? It does happen, PARENTS may find a better living situation which then REQUIRES their child to go do a different school. No recruiting, just the parents deciding to move... Not unless you wanna pitch in to help the parents get their kid to the school YOU feel they should attend do to their child going to a different middle school..

I'm sure they talk to kids from feeder schools (like the middle school kids you deal with) about the athletic programs and opportunities for the kids to participate. That is perfectly legal. If other schools in the county aren't doing it, it does nothing but hurt their own program.

I work with kids that are middle school aged, specifically in sports. Martinsburg makes a run at every good athlete in the area. That is fact. I am not saying they are the only ones, but they definitely lead the charge.

HughJorgen

and Fett, his legal transfer (if true) doesn't mean he wasn't recruited. What this does prove is that kids bounce around from school to school to play sports. It just so happens that Martinsburg is the only team that doesn't cry about it

Do I have to educate you once again? Delaware transferred his freshman year. In terms of WVSSAC rules on transfers, that makes all the difference in the world...so you have proved nothing other than your ignorance of the rules...despite repeated lessons on the subject.

I've been hearing on the radio about a kid with the last name Delaware running the point at Hedgesville. This can't be the same kid from Martingburg that went to South Middle and then played at MHS can it? (Sarcasm, of course)

And you guys cry and cry about Martinsburg recruiting? HAHAHA This is proof that kids legally transfer in and out of schools to play sports.
